It depends.I used to read a lot of books in my native language (Finnish) but for years most of the stuff I've been reading and watching has been in English, I also use a lot of English at work. At some point I realized that my active vocabulary in my native language was atrophying. So, I decided to go back to reading books in it. So, be mindful about that :)
Same here! Negative side: Not all books are available, especially a bit nicher ones, such as philosophy. Libraries can be great though.
yeah, that's I am worrying about. Can't deny the benefits of reading in English though.
